How to sell content online
Here's how to start selling content online and make your first sale:
1. Pick one product to start
Look at what your audience already asks for: the tutorial everyone comments on, the beat they want to use, the template behind your posts. Package that one thing first.
2. Choose how buyers get it
Sell it as a download, a stream, or both. One-time purchases suit videos, ebooks and templates. A subscription suits a members-only library or new content every month.
3. Set up your store
Pick a theme, upload your files and set a price. Write a short description that says what the buyer gets, and add a preview so they know what they're paying for.
4. Share it where your audience already is
Put your store link in your Instagram, TikTok or YouTube bio and email your list when something new goes live. Your audience is your sales channel.
Selling content from a store you own
Your store, not another link in your bio
Pick a theme, add your logo and connect your own domain. Everything you sell sits on one storefront, so followers who tap your bio link see it all.
Keep what you earn
Sellfy charges a flat plan, not a cut of each sale. On $10,000 in sales, Gumroad's 10% + $0.50 per sale costs over $1,000, while Sellfy Starter costs $264 billed yearly. Payment processing applies to both.
Create your store
Streamed, downloaded or both
Videos stream in the browser in up to 1080p, and audio streams from MP3, FLAC or WAV. Downloads hold up to 50 files per product, and buyers get their link the moment they pay.
Create your store
One-time sales or monthly memberships
Sell a single video, a course or a members-only library billed weekly, monthly or yearly. Add pay what you want pricing for a free sample, or bundle several digital products at one price.
Create your store
Marketing that runs while you create
Every buyer's email lands in your store, so you can announce new releases with built-in email marketing. Discount codes work on every plan. Business and Premium add upsells and cart abandonment emails.
Create your store
Everything you need to sell content in one store
These tools come with every plan, with no add-ons to buy.
Video on demand
Buyers watch in the browser or cast to a TV with Chromecast or AirPlay. More on how to sell videos online.
Audio streaming
Let buyers stream tracks, sample packs or audiobooks, download them, or both. See how to sell music online.
Instant downloads
Each product holds up to 10 GB on Starter, 15 GB on Business and 20 GB on Premium, with no limit on the number of products.
Subscriptions
Bill members weekly, monthly or yearly, and let them manage their own plan. See how to sell subscriptions.
PDF stamping and license keys
Every PDF you sell carries the buyer's email on each page. You can also give each buyer a unique license key.
EU and UK VAT handled
Sellfy calculates EU and UK VAT at checkout and exports the reports, so selling to buyers abroad doesn't add paperwork.
Content selling sites: your four options
Websites to sell content fall into four groups. Each one trades reach for control in a different way:
1. Marketplaces
Etsy, stock libraries and similar marketplaces bring shoppers who are already searching. In return they set the rules, take a cut of each sale (Etsy charges a 6.5% transaction fee) and keep the customer relationship.
2. Per-sale creator platforms
Platforms like Gumroad have no monthly fee and charge per sale instead: 10% + $0.50 on each direct sale. That suits a first product. The fee grows with every sale you make.
3. Social platforms
Paid memberships inside YouTube and other social apps let fans pay without leaving the app. The platform sets the fees and the payout schedule, and you don't get your buyers' email addresses.
4. Your own store
You set the price, keep 100% of each sale minus payment processing, and keep every buyer's email. The trade-off is that you bring the buyers. A common setup is a marketplace for reach and your own store for margin.
